THE FAKMKKS' ALLIANCE, LINCOLN, NEH., THURSDAY JAN. 14.

rry mystery which sophistry eould
iuvvut bu been thrown arouud llietu,
aud every political prJudice whuyi
partisan influence could create b
been amazed agint tnem. Against
these they have uiased all their force
and concentrated their attacks. Nor is
this to be wundered at. Graut to the
millionairs capitalists and their servile
tool the control of ths people' gov
erouieat and the iirit possession of the
people' money, and all the opposition
to the other forma of oppression will be
but m the fquiiming of the worm on
the ribhtnras' book, or the buzzing of
the fly in the spider's web.
rrudeace and wisdom dictate that we
should be will prepared for these bow
modes of attack. We must see to it
that every principle is well fortified by
argument, and that every plan of prac
tical application be wisely constructed
and prudently and persistently carried
cut.
Our membership seems to be nearly
unanimous in regard to the general
principle of the government iaaue 01
niuaey directly to the people aud for
their bene til But when the means by
which this shall be practically carried
out come to be considered there is still
some difference of opirion.
Some stiil claim there is no practical
way but that which is known as the sub
treasury plan. Others say that plan is
impracticable in the northern states,
aud the land security plan is the only
one which will admit of universal ap
plication. Others again object to both
these plans, and claim that some form
of postal savings banks with powers ex
tended to loaning government money
to the people is the most practicable
way.
1 confess that at one time I viewed
with alarm these differences of opinion.
But the spirit which is manifested in
our Alliances to discuss aud examine
each of these, and other plans which
have been suggested, in a spirit of can
dor and f airuens. has led to such a modi
fication and bleiding ol the different
platis tnat there is no doubt that a com
plete agreement will soon be arrived at.
The advocates of the subtreasury plau
are becoming convinced that it would
be of but little benefit to the conductors
of what is called mixed farming which
prevails to so large an extent in the
northern states; while the advocates of
the land loan plan begin to realize that
the land is so nearly absorbed by the
plutocracy that it alone would not be
sullicient to distribute the money so
widely as it is needed. It now seems
evident that a combination of these two
kinds of security with some system of
government batiks including the essen
tial features of the postal savings banks
plan may be so arranged as to obiviate
every objection, and be acceptable to
all. The objection urged by some that
the issue of money on such security
woul 1 be unsafe, tails to the ground
when we consider that those two forms
of security include all the permanent
security the people can give, and that
the security is from the people to their
government and not from the govern
went to the people, or to the world.
They forget that any limited sectuity
on the part of the government, aside
from the merchantable value of the ma
terial of which the money is manufac
tured only etracts from that complete
security which an unqualided issue of
money involves; and tnat the cheaper
the material, provided it is such as ex
perience has preved to bo suitable and
convenient for circulation, the greater
financial advantage to the whole people.
A secret and uutrammeled ballot is
now instated on by all our Alliances, and
accepted as law by the people of the
state; and so vital is it to the liberties of
the people that it cannot be too carefully
guarded, or too completely carried out.
And any defects which experience,
should discover in the present law
should be promptly remedied.
Government ownership of the whole
railroad system of the country is also
generally accepted by our Alliances as
the only way to settle the difficulties
wnieh always have existed between the
railroad companies rnd the people,
especially the producers of the country.
The only question now to be determin
ed Is, how to bring this about and still
respects the equal rights of all.
The security by law to each honest
and industrious family sufficient land
for a home and for cultivation if re
quited aud the assurance of perpetual
possession of the same, is recoguized,
not only by our Alliances, but by all in
telligent patriot, as being absolutely
necessary for the stability and perpet
uity of our government. The necessity
for education in a free republic is al
most universally recognized. Yet de
prive an intelligent and educated man
or woman of the influence, restraints
and responsibilities incident to the own
ership and occupancy of a home, aud
they become fitted for tramps aud an
arohists, aud their education but rend
ers them the more dangerous to the
welfare of society and the supremacy of
law.
The principlo of laying tho heaviest
bunten of taxation for the support of
our government on those who are finan
cially best able to bear it is now, I be
lieve, accepted by all our people as the
true theory and system for creating the
public revenues.
When all these principles which I
have mentioned are fully developed and
agreed upon by the Alliances and other
industrial organizations in this slate, if
they prudently exert the influence and
power which they possess, they will be
speedily endorsed by a majority of our
whole people.
But it is for the continued possession
cf the political power of the state and
county that every energy is directed,
and every dollar s aked by our determ
ined foes. Sometimes it is proclaimed
that all the demands of the Alliance
(medided somewhat by the superior
wisdom and experience of the pluto
cracy) wilt be granted to the farmers, if
the Alliance will only keep out of poli
tics. Our members are appealed to in
dividually and collectively by every
consideration which can be brought to
bear to prevent their political co-operation.
Ihey say it stultifies the non
partisan character of our constitution.
That it endangers the supremacy of the
republican party, which has done so
much for the cause of liberty; and on
the other hand, that it will be equally de
structive to the democratic party, whose
very name indicates the rights of the
people, and whose long connection with
the history of our country should en
title it to respect and support. Thus
they appeal to all the partisan prejudice
which is supposed to linger in the hearts
of our members. They have used all
their influence, backed by promises of
political preferment and support, and
In many instances, no doubt, by finan
cial inducements, to create divisions in
our Alliances and discord in our coun
cils, sometimes by inducing our secret
nemies to join our ordor and act the
part of spies and traitors, and some
times by corrupting those who are not
well grounded in the principles of
honesty and truth.
But in apite of all these machinations
th'.ir combined effort on our member
ship has been so slight that the few that
have been effected by them have had no
lnnucace, except .to call forth the con
tempt and pity of their fellow mem
bers.
Jur Alliance now stands throughout the
state a sonu euiwars against tne peo
ples' oppressors, and their determined
and unanimous voice promises speedy
political death to every tool of the plu
tocracy In our stt.
Our Bieubenbip now fully under
stand that while Hie Alliance 1 not, and
cannot be, a political party, the Inevita
ble tendency ot the systematic educa
tion which u its chief object, is to briug
about united and effective political
action in support of the equal rights of
all the peeple.
The relation of the Alliance to the
other labor organizations of the state
is worthy of your attention. While I
do not for one momeut thick it practi
cable that the city and country organi
sation should bo combined in one so
ciety, I do think that the brotherly
feeling which now exists between mem
should be fotleted and strengthened;
remembering always that tha true in
terests cf the laborers in city and coun
try are identical But 1 can see no valid
reason why atnerent organizations oi
farmers having in the main the same
objnets and made up of thoso whose oc
cupations ae well as interests are iden
tical, should exist in the same locality.
1 am aware that in our own state mere
is no other strictly . larmerg-organization
but our own and the GraDga, that
has developed any strength. But the
signs of the time admonish us that none
of our energy should be wasted in the
jealous strivings of rival organizations
either in state or nation, ana tnat, every
edort should be made to bring about
that complete union of purpose and co
operation in action wbicn is necessary
to defend and maintain our rights.
The prospects of our Alliance were
never beforo so bright as at present.
The lull in organizing incident to the
arduous farm Tabor of the past season
has given place to a waking up through
out the state From every county comes
the shout, "We are coming determined
to conquer," and all saem ready to build
up the wails of the Alliance right over
sg tinst their own houses. It is yours to
perfect and put into practice such rules
and plans as will make the combined
energies of our aroused membership the
mof t ettective lor tne aavancement oi
righteousness and the maintenance of
the liberties of the people. To this end,
I trust, all jour sessions will be direct
ed. To this cud. I trunt, that all avail
able fuDds of the Alliance, after dis
charging existing obligations, will bo
expeuded. And I trust that any re
vision of the constitution which may
have become necessary by the advance
in the history of our society from a state
of fveble growth to one of immense and
increasing power, may be promptly
made. Remember, it is one thing to
build up, and another to wisely sustain
and permanently establish. Let these
aims characterize pll your deliberations
and I have no fear but the result will be
mighty in create of the strength and
efficiency of our order.
mere are some omces in our society
which are of such a character that the
experience gained by efficient service
caunot safely be dispensed with, and
wisdom would dictate that the lncum
bent should be continued in office so
long as he remains faithful to his duties
But there is nothing in the office of
President to interefere with a judicious
rotation of service. If in carrying the
sword of office your President has for
gotten how to perform the duties cf a
soldier in thy ranks, it is time it was
kn 'wn.
For three years I have borne the office,
and in my imperfect way performed the
duties of President of this Alliance. I
cannot express to you the gratitude I
feel for the com.iderale manner in which
you have treated my failings, and the
kindne-s and efficiency with which you
have sustained me in every ettort lor
building up our noble order. I am
proud of the wonderful success of our
united efforts. My deliberate judgmeut
is that you should choose another to the
office, and may your choice be wisely
directed.
A glorious prospect spreads before us
in the future. God has give us the
numbers and the ability and He will
give us the ultimate victory.
The other states are falling into line.
Our enemies show their fears by their
frantio efforts and their pathetic ap
peals for protection from the wrath of
the oeonle.
In God we trust; and through His
help we will triumph over every oppo
sition, until not only the rights of the
farmers, but those of the whole people
shall be vindicated and sustained; and
liberty be proclaimed throughout all
the land to all the inhabitants thereof.
ANNUAL BEPORT OP TEE STATE
SECEETAEY.
To the President ani Members of the
Farmers' Alliance:
Brethren: It has again become my
duty to submit an anuual report ot the
progress of trio State Alliance for the
y ear just closed, so far as it has come
under the observation of the Suoretary,
together with the present condition of
Alliance work, so tar as the facts re
lating thereto lie more especially with
in my Knowledge.
J. lie past year has been one of import
ance in the history of our organization
in Nebraska. The Alliance growth in
the year preceding was very rapid, and
in some sections of the state the work
of organization was but imperfectly
done, so that the larger part of the labor
of the year had to be spent in strength
ening and building up the Alliances al
ready organized. Tne efforts in this
direction have resulted in great good.
and never before in its history have the
principles of the Alliance held so large
a place in the hearts of its meuiers, or
had in so large a measure their con
fidence and esteem, as at the present
time. The organization also occupies a
larger place in the respect of the general
public, and its purposes and aspii at ions
are accorded a larger measure of sym
pathy as they become better un
derstood. The people of the state re
cognize that the men.al lifeof the farm
er was never more active than now,
that whatever may have been the case
in the past, he is now reading and
thinking, and the study and investiga
tion ot the great problems connected
with the wise administration of econo
mical government, has a larger place in
his mind than ever before. This thought
and study is developing a determination
that hereafter his interests and welfare
must be equally considered with those
of his fellow citizens of all other classes.
That the Alliance has been the chief
cause of this spirit of investigation, of
independence and tendency to ward pro
gressive citizenship, admits of no ques
tion. The work of organization has progres
sed steadily during this year. We have
ni..i.i :... ....... .....,... mi.....
and bow have organizations in every
county in the state. Two hundred and
four new Alliances have been chartered
by the State Alliance and a good many
of the Alliances have been re organized
that had not been reporting and were
suspended. The past season has been
one of unusual stress of work on the
part of farmers in our s.ate, and the ap
parent lack of interest in local Alliance
work was largely due to this cause, as
the recent reports from Alliances all
over the state indicate an increased
activity on the part of the members that
promise great things for the future wel
fare of the Alliance in Nebraska.
While considering the growth and
dealing with the statistics of the Alli
ance, it would not be improper to state
that we have sustained losses the past
rear, and indeed it would be strange
If in a movement like ours Bona should
tall b the wayside A few charter
have been surrendered during the year.
in most esses, however, they have been
given up tor the purpose of uniting the
strength of two or more Alliances, very
l'iw ot then indication, a total
loss of Interest in tne Alliance
and its work. Over sixteen buud
red Alliances have reported dur
ing the er. and as the dues from
nearly a ibouaaud Alliances have been
remitted during 18UI. a large number of
wesU-rn Alliauos nave neglected to
send in their reports, so that we cannot
properly estnuau or calculate our
actual strength, but it must exceed that
of last year by several tnousaud.
1 caunot bass the wort ct orsas.sa-
tion without referring to the iahoi s of our
Siate President aud Lecturer. During
the owning mouths vt the year Presi
dent Powers was largely engaged in
work connected with the National Alli
ance, his first important active work in
ibis state being in February, when a
number of ihe noitheastern counties
were vii;ed and the fouudation for
aggressive woik in Dakota and ad j lin
ing counties was lata. About tne uiiu-
die of Auril he began a tour of visita
tion aud work that embraced nearly a 1
the counties in tbetoutnern and western
harts of the state, extending up to about
July 10th Another trip occupying the
months of feepiember ana uoiooer was
made by bioi in which he visited all the
northeastern counties and ethers along
the line of the U. P. westward, and on
this tour be put in fitty-two days active
work During November and Decem
ber he has visited several counties and
every where with good results.
Our State Lecturer, do nun, nas
also done very efficient work in his ca
pacity during the year. During the
first six months of the year he was al
most constantly in the field, and the re
cords of bU movements show that he
covered a large part of the state during
his term of office Some counties were
vitlted at different times, owing to in
clement weather and othercaues inter
fering with the success of his brst meet
ing!. Re porn from all places visited
by him unite in commendation of bis
labor', and the wise counsels given
were we'l received by our members
everywhere.
The Assistant lecturer, uro. rrait.
visited a number of the northern and
western couuties also during the year
Two principal tour were made by him:
one from Ularks via Norfolk to Craw
ford over the line of the F. E, & M. V.
and returning by way of Box Butte
county over the B. & M., occupying
twenty-four days of actual worki the
other westward from Lexington Daw
son county, by way of U. P. lothe west
ern part of the state, then north and east
through Wheeler, Blaine, Loup and
Garfield counties. Itemized accounts
of these tours are on tile in my office
and show a record of faithful work on
behall of your sUte officers.
TIIE DI8TEIBrjTIO!f OF PRINTED M ATTKR.
The demand for printed matter ex
plaining the purposes of the Alliance
continued unabated throughout the
year. Two large editions of tne amend
ed Constitution were distributed, ilso
an edition in German aud one in the
Swede language. A large edition of
the proceedings of the last annual meet
ing were also sent out together with
laigo numbers of the proceedings of the
National Alliance held at Omaha, and
other supplies nd printed matter fur
nished iu considerable quantity- The
proceedings of a meetinz of the various
county Lecturers of the state, held at
Hastings in July were also sent out
Reasonable care was used in this distri
bution that no unnecessary waste might
occur, yet all rt quests so far as possible
were complied witn
EDUCATIONAL WORK.
The educational work of the Alliance
has received during the past year
a great deal of attention. In addition
to the work of the State Lecturers the
County Lecturers have been urged to
adopt a systematic plan of work in the
discharge" of their dutit s. In crder to
secure united and harmonious action
all over the state in this direction a
meeting of the various County Lectur
ers and officers was called to convene at
Hastings on August 19th. At this meet
ing about two hundred wore present
wid the discussion of the Alliance and
its educational work was of vast benefit
to all who were present. A synopsis of
this meeting was printed and distributed
over the state as noted above.
LITEKATURK.
The demand for papers and books on
matters of interest to our political and
economical welfare has largely increas
ed during the past year. Our members
show a disposition to support those pa
pers that fight their battles, that is very
encouraging, and a number of l.ncul aud
otiif-r papers have been esiaoiisnea a tir
ing the year and are now doing good
service in defending the rights of the
producers of our state and nation. Ito
torm books have been purchased by Al
liances and members, and in many Al
liances circulating libraries have been
secured that will prove productive of
much good in enlisting the energies of
our people in the maintenance ot those
rights so dear to the American heart.
1 have iu this report but briefly out
lined the present condition of the Alli
ance and its work iu Nebraska. In the
past year we have had much to encour
age us The organization is much more
permanent in the character of its mem
bers than a yetir ago. its eaueutionai
system is improving in efficiency and
its social features are more ana more
appreciated. It calls the attention of
all to the farm and its interests, and
points to reforms that must be labored
for in state and national legislatures,
which the present meeting will no doubt
emphasize during its deliberations.

stood higher in public esteem than it
does to-day and never were its prospects
for usefulness brighter than now. we
cannot hope to accomplish all the ob
jects sought for in a day, nor will the
evils ot paf-t legislation be wiped out in
the first skirmish, but with right on our
side and justice and equality to all our
motto, our triumph is sure.
Eeport of Treasurer.
In making my report as Treasurer, it
can be said, in explanation of the decrease
of receipts from last year, that Includ
ing western Alliances organized pay
ing only initiation fees, nearly ene
thousand alliances did not report dues
until after October 1, 1891, while none
of the alliances reported dues for the
quarter ending December SO, 1890, a
period covered by this year's report. In
noting the expenditures we must bear
in mind, in comparing with the last re
port, that this covers a period of thirteen
months, while the former only included
ed eleven months, or from January 2,
1890, to December 6, 1890.
